i think it's amazing that Per chose Lena, because she, just like Marie, is a very popular single artist in Sweden. Marie never lost her popularity in Sweden as a single artist, and Lena is a very well established artist in Sweden since the 80s.
Keep Going Per, we Roxers can’t wait to see you on stage, we can’t wait to scream as loud as possible until loosing the voice. All the best with the new tour!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lena PH is far from a rookie...on the contrary she´s a fullblood professional and one of Swedens most recognized artists. However she´s never ventured into the sharkinfested waters of the global music scene, hence why she might come across as a little insecure. If anyone should ever attempt to fill Maries shoes Lena is a great contender...period! :)
I would not say that Lena is insecure. Humble would be the word I would choose. 😊 She is not only a great singer, performer and songwriter - she is also hilarious with a great sense of humor. They will be excellent on stage!
Tip of the iceberg. Sweden's impact on metal, especially extreme metal, has been massive. Might seem like a niche market but metal festivals in Europe just keep getting bigger every year.
Lena pH is one Swedens best female singers in my oppinion. Just like Marie Fredriksson was . I just hope that she paints the songs her own way, but with in the frame. ❤
I gather it’s Kommunala Musikskolan - a free music program outside of school - that encourages young people to not only dream of a music career, but also start learning toward one, in a systematic way.
She's talented and she has credibility, and Per has a right to keep performing Roxette songs... but this should not be advertised as Roxette.That would be like Dave Stewart touring as Eurythmics without Annie Lennox, or like John Oates touring as Hall & Oates without Darryl Hall. Just my opinion, however (like everyone else on this thread).
It’s Roxette 2025. We who know what Lena is capable of are waiting with excitement! And the rest of you who don’t want or don’t belive in this can simply close your eyes and cover your ears…I think she will do a damn good job. With her own voice. It’s not about her singing like Marie.😊
She is a very wellknown singer/ performer in Sweden since the 80's. I would say she makes mostly pop music.She's been in the music industry for a looong time and she had a lot of hits over the years.A very private person.
Because we have the most intelligent people in our capital Stockholm. Go south to Skåne and you will feel like you are in a real life version of Deliverance
Personaly I think the international sucess is mostly bcause of ABBA, success breeds success. Ofc it's also helped we were good at english, unaffected by ww2, have cheap communal music school. I think our glorydays are over however. .Unless a new Max Martin or Benny Andersson steps forward soon
I think it was because of music from the US and England, and young people playing their own music. Some bands had success at the dansband scene - before that turned into its own distinct genre. The Beatles with rock and the early pop bands. Playing music was cool, attracted people. So many tried it. ABBA definitely inspired a lot of people with their unique style and their international success. It opened up the eyes to Sweden for the rest of the world, incentivizing young talented musicians to experiment as they took in influences from other countries. Roxette is part of that legacy.
WHY call it Roxette?? Why not some other name, because keeping the name tells us that Per thinks Marie IS replaceable.,She is not, this is not Roxette to me, and never will be.
@@swedeman5785Does Lena Ph have the voice though to match the material? She's never struck me as having a really good voice, while Marie Fredriksson is maybe top3 swedish female voxals
Of course not! But since Marie heartbreakingly isnt with us anymore, I think Lena is the right choice to take over. Its not gonna be the same but I think it will be good.
Of course it's not. 50% is dead and Per can hardly sing Roxette songs alone... Lena is a great singer with 40 years of experience, this will be interesting.
hahah this is such nonsense It does NOT dominate the world of pop It produces canned anglo american styled music and has had some success But NO truly good music comes from Sweden Mozart, Metallica, Journey, Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, Michael Jackson even? THIS IS Proper POPULAR music

Roxette was actually one of the first live concerts I went to in Örebro, Sweden as a kid.

Kristianstad, Sweden!
Well, Lena is not Marie but a very good actress and singer so she is gonna do a very good work.

Agree
Lena is a strong vocalist
Lena will be awesome!
When is this project going to take off? I am curious here in Sweden too.
De ska göra två eller tre konserten i Sverige i sommaren.
Love it ❤👍🏻
Looking forword for the music as you two good Artist.
love it
Why are they sitting with the town Kristianstad behind them??
A greenscreen and it was too dark in Stockholm?
At least it wasn't a city in Switzerland.
They were in Stockholm.

You are absolutely right. Per needs the name Roxette to sell tickets.
I like that, thats not Stockholm its kristianstad
Roxette IS Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson. Amen.
It’s Roxette 2025. We who know what Lena is capable of are waiting with excitement! And the rest of you who don’t want or don’t belive in this can simply close your eyes and cover your ears…I think she will do a damn good job. With her own voice. It’s not about her singing like Marie.😊
Dominates.....riiiiiight!
❤❤
Sweden: The Hives, The Hellacopters and Shocking Blue are good too :) besides Roxette and ABBA
Ace of Base and Rednex are also Swedish
The cárdigans too
💞💫💖🙏
whooo is she?
i really wanna know
Lena Philipsson born 1966 Vetlanda Sweden
She is a very wellknown singer/ performer in Sweden since the 80's. I would say she makes mostly pop music.She's been in the music industry for a looong time and she had a lot of hits over the years.A very private person.
2004 She represented Sweden in Eurovision.
Google her name Lena Philipsson & than u got a lot of information 🙂

That backdrop is definately not Stockholm, I'm just syaing...
2:10 "Mmmm" på ren svenska. Sen "yeah" på engelska.
"mmm" är universellt.
@@MarcusN-kp1jn Allt har sina detaljer och nyanser. Sättet hon uttalar ljudet på är distinkt svenskt.
The concert ticket prices are criminal and its not even the real deal.
Bohoo...cry me a river!
we don't anymore, since talent ain't important to the business no more.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That headline though.. I thought it was the Brits dominating. Huh. Britpop was a thing.
WHY call it Roxette?? Why not some other name, because keeping the name tells us that Per thinks Marie IS replaceable.,She is not, this is not Roxette to me, and never will be.
You have to ask Per that,he is the boss.
roxette
Nice haircut or is it a wig😊
@patrikpatrik421 • Hello , no it is Per's own & real hair 🙂
Poor Per having to put up with this typically vapid Project interview
Sorry. For me, without Marie it is NOT Roxette.
Per needs someone else to sing Roxette songs.
@@swedeman5785Does Lena Ph have the voice though to match the material? She's never struck me as having a really good voice, while Marie Fredriksson is maybe top3 swedish female voxals
@@Eddvard90 Per think so, or he would nt have chosed her.
This Will never be Roxette
Of course not! But since Marie heartbreakingly isnt with us anymore, I think Lena is the right choice to take over. Its not gonna be the same but I think it will be good.
no es Roxette
You should look up Björnzone and their new Christmas song.
Not Roxette! Never will be.
My God! How hyped! This is nonsense!
This is not Roxette!
Of course it's not. 50% is dead and Per can hardly sing Roxette songs alone... Lena is a great singer with 40 years of experience, this will be interesting.
Try listen to Swedish SÄLLSKAPSSJUK,Per & Lena sing in Swedish..Per thought it sounded good,so...Means I need company-sick.
hahah this is such nonsense
It does NOT dominate the world of pop
It produces canned anglo american styled music and has had some success
But NO truly good music comes from Sweden
Mozart, Metallica, Journey, Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, Michael Jackson even?
THIS IS Proper POPULAR music
